    Roberts' legacy has accumulated quite a collection of head-scratching decisions lately. I really don't get it.

    He gave up 1 hit then the ump decided to walk in the GW run

    Can't make-shift a bullpen every season. Sometimes you have to make objectively good roster moves and not count on getting lucky.

    I understand not breaking the bank on relievers but they're not putting this team in a position to succeed. It's like 2015. Ryu went down early in the season and they had 3 months to find a replacement for him. Instead, Brett Anderson was our #3 starter. Just inexcusable.

    Blame the luxury tax. Or maybe not make horrible FA signings like Kazmir and Mccarthy so we have money to spend. What a train wreck series.

    They better start using Wood, Strip, Maeda, Ferguson and the like in these situations going forward.

    Intentional walks are outdated and stupid.

    Stole one strike from him. What happened on the other three?

    And the lineup, especially in a park like Coors, has to pick up the pitching staff. One game aside, it failed miserably to do that.

    Couldn't push more than three across against struggling pitchers like Davis and Bettis.

    I hope we have one more horrible demoralizing loss at the hands of Dave.
    Like Kershaw rolling on for a no hitter but walks a guy in the 9th and Dave takes him out for Pedro Baez who blows a 3 run lead and the team loses.
    Only if it means that Dave will be fired, Pedro Baez released, Utley promoted to manager, and 2 roster spots open up for Verdugo and Will Smith.

    2B: Dozier
    SS: Machado
    RF: Puig/Kemp
    CF: Bellinger
    3B: Turner
    1B: Muncy
    C : Grandal/Smith
    LF: Joc/Verdugo

    UT: Taylor, Kike, Smith, Kemp, Verdugo, Toles
    SP: Kershaw, Ryu, Hill, Buehler
    RP: Jansen, Maeda, Strip, Wood, Ferguson, Alexander, Urias

    That roster with an aggressive manager can win.

    :thumbsup:

    Not possible this year obviously but if he takes a job somewhere else while we're padding Roberts' pockets I'm going to be pissed

    Uh, as a staunch Nerd/FO supporter, I ask you as a gentleman, please don't mention those particular signings again.
    EVER AGAIN.

    THANK YOU

    he's been good at times like chargois etc
    but the only guy i see w even close to what it takes to close is axford or kenta
    i think you have to give a guy the job that wants it
    the other guys are just used for standard RP

    I’m so glad I didn’t see these past two games. I think I might have been arrested for indecent conduct.

    Suffice it to say, we’re in trouble. Wonder if Sept call ups will help us.

    Axford's been very good his last two outings.

    Kind of hard to judge his first appearance in a blowout game.

    Grandal needs to hit a home run every time he makes a dumbfuck play behind the plate.

    Don't know if 300 HRs in a single season is possible.
